SunPCi II Hardware and Software Installation 3

Equipment and Software

To install your SunPCi II hardware, you need to have the following equipment and

software available:

■ SunPCi II card or cards

■ UltraSPARC system with available PCI slots (two available slots per card if you

plan to use the add-on backplate with parallel and serial ports)

■ Grounding wrist strap (included in the SunPCi II package)

■ Phillips screwdriver (not included)

■ SunPCi II software (included on the SunPCi II CD)

Note – Make sure that you keep the box and all packing materials in case you need

to return the card for service.

Getting Started

Before you can configure and install the Microsoft Windows operating systems, you

need to perform the following steps:

1. Remove a SunPCi II card (if necessary)

2. Install the SunPCi II hardware

3. View the documentation files

4. Install the SunPCi II software

The sections that follow describe each of these steps in detail.

Removing a SunPCi II Card From YourSystem

If you have an earlier version of the SunPCi card installed in your system, you need

to remove the card and the existing SunPCi software package before installing the

SunPCi II card. For instructions about removing the PCI card, refer to the


documentation that accompanied your UltraSPARC system. Refer to the SunPCi II2.2 User’s Guide for Microsoft Windows removal instructions. To remove SunPCi

software, see “Removing SunPCi II Software” on page 24.

Note – You will not be able to use your SunPCi 1.x C: drive as a SunPCi II boot

drive. If you have data on your old C: drive that you want to use with the new

SunPCi II card, attach the old C: drive as a D: drive after you install the SunPCi II

card and software. You will have to reinstall your applications on your new C: drive.

Installing the SunPCi II Hardware

This section explains how to install a SunPCi II card and its optional add-on

backplate into your system. You only need to install the backplate if you plan to

connect an external serial or parallel device, such as a modem or a local printer,

directly to the SunPCi II card.

Note – Make sure you install all the SunPCi II cards before you install the SunPCi II

software. You only need to install the software once on each system.

Shutting Down the System

1. If you have not done so already, become superuser on the system into which youwant to install the SunPCi II card.

To become superuser, type the following command at the system prompt and press

Return.

2. Type the superuser password and press Return.

If you do not know the superuser password, see your system administrator.

% su


3. Type the following command:

Make sure that you type spaces between the uadmin command and the 2, and

between the 2 and the 6.

4. Your system unit powers off. Turn off the power to any peripherals that areconnected to your system.

5. Remove all cables, except the power cord, from the back of the system. Leaving thepower cord plugged in ensures that you have a path to ground; this reduces thepossibility of damage to static sensitive devices.

If you are installing the SunPCi II card into a new system, make sure that you plug

the power cord into the power outlet on the system and into the wall outlet. This

ensures that static electricity is properly discharged and does not damage the card or

your system.

Removing the System Cover

1. Remove the system cover or unit top.

Refer to the instructions included with your particular system.

2. Attach the grounding wrist strap.

Attach the copper end of the wrist strap to the metal frame of the system or the

casing of the power supply. Be sure to attach the copper to bare metal; do not attach it toany painted surface or to any of the labels on the power supply.

Identifying the PCI Slots

To locate the PCI slots in your system, refer to the figure that corresponds with the

model of your system, or to the system documentation.

Note – The SunPCi II card operates in either 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slots.

Preparing the Slots

Before you can install the SunPCi II hardware, you need to prepare the PCI slot(s)

you will use.

Note – If you plan to use the optional add-on backplate with serial and parallel

ports, you need to use two adjacent back panel slots per card that you install.

● Use your Phillips screwdriver to remove the filler panels from two adjacent emptyslots (if necessary), or remove the installed card(s).

The filler panel is the removable metal strip that is installed inside your system

enclosure at the back panel to cover each PCI slot’s opening.

a. If you are installing the card into a pair of empty slots, remove the filler panelscovering the slots in the system.

b. If you are installing the card into an occupied slot, remove the current card. Putyour index fingers or thumbs under the corners of the card and lift the cardupward. Remove the card from the system.

Installing the SunPCi II Card(s)

1. Remove the SunPCi II card from its antistatic bag.

Hold the card by the edges. Place it on the antistatic bag, or on an antistatic mat (if

you have one available).

2. If you have purchased the optional additional RAM SODIMMs, install them now.If you did not purchase the additional RAM, skip this step.

The SunPCi II card ships in a standard configuration with one SODIMM installed. If

desired, you can add a second SODIMM as described in the SunPCi II SODIMMInstallation Guide (accompanying the optional SODIMM).

Caution – The SunPCi II card is designed to operate only with the SODIMMs

supplied by Sun for the card. If you install a SODIMM not supplied by Sun, you will

invalidate the warranty for your SunPCi II card.


3. In the table after this step, write down the machine or MAC (Ethernet) addressfound on the card’s sticker, together with the card’s PCI slot number into whichyou will install the card. Do this for all cards you plan to install.

The SunPCi II card bears a yellow sticker with the card’s machine or MAC (Ethernet)

address. This label is located on the center of the card, above the connectors. Consult

your system back panel or documentation for the PCI slot number.

Note – You will provide a Microsoft Windows computer name for the PC or server

when installing Microsoft Windows software, and you may also obtain a

corresponding Internet Protocol (IP) address later from your system administrator (if

you plan on using the network). The SunPCi II 2.2 User’s Guide describes these

configuration procedures.

4. Insert the SunPCi II card into the PCI slot.

Remove the slot cover. Slide the tab on the bottom of the backplate into the opening

in the back panel of your system. Remember that if you are using the add-on

backplate, you will need to use adjacent slots.

Be careful not to dislodge any other cards that may be installed in other slots. Make

sure the SunPCi II card ports, and the add-on backplate ports (if installed) face out

through the back panel of the system.

5. If you are using the optional add-on backplate, attach it to each SunPCi II card asshown in the following figure; if you are not using the backplate, skip this step.

Attach the connectors before installing the backplate. You can use the add-on

backplate to install external PC peripherals to each SunPCi II card, such as local

printers and modems.

This figure shows the proper orientation of the SunPCi II card and the backplate.

You can see the location of the ports that show through the back of the system after

the card is installed.

Finishing the Installation

1. Remove the wrist strap from your wrist and detach it from the system.

2. Replace the system cover or unit top, following the instructions appropriate toyour system.

Refer to the instructions that accompanied your system.

3. Reconnect all cables to the back of the system.

Caution – Do not turn on the power to your system until you have re-installed and

secured the system cover or unit top.

4. Power on your system.

The system automatically reboots when you turn on the power to the system unit.

5. Turn on the power to your system peripherals.

6. Log in again, become superuser, and continue with the SunPCi II softwareinstallation instructions in the following section.

Note – If you have other PCI cards installed in your system in addition to the

SunPCi II card, type halt at the superuser prompt and then type boot -r to start

your system. This allows your UltraSPARC system to recognize the old and new PCI

cards. If you do not have any additional PCI cards installed, just start your system

normally.

Note – If your system does not recognize the SunPCi II card or cards, or does not

restart after you turn on the power, the SunPCi II card(s) may not be seated correctly
